　　Germany
　　A country of north-central Europe. Occupied since c. 500 B.C. by Germanic tribes, the region became part of the Frankish empire by the sixth century A.D. Later it became a loose federation of principalities and the nucleus of the Holy Roman Empire until the imperial state was broken up by Napoleon in 1806. Germany became a confederation after 1815 and then an empire centered around Prussia (1871–1918). Following its defeat in World War I, it was reorganized as the Weimar Republic, which collapsed when Adolf Hitler rose to power and formed the Third Reich. Germany's defeat in 1945 at the end of World War II resulted in its division into four occupation zones, each controlled by an Allied power. Out of the U.S., French, and British zones West Germany was established in 1949, while the Soviet zone became East Germany. The two Germanies were reunified in 1990 after the fall of the East German Communist government. Berlin is the capital and largest city. Population: 82,400,000.

　　It's an enormous place with overwhelming tourist options. Smack in the middle of Europe, Germany's got the Bavarian Alps, windswept North Sea islands, the Black Forest and the castle-dotted Rhine. And there's Berlin, a city where you could easily spend all your vacation and not see a tenth of what it has to offer. Germany has history aplenty, an enormous variety of museums, cosmopolitan sophistication and rural quaintitude, camping, beer gardens, and music of all kinds. In short, Germany is the kind of place where a guidebook makes all the difference.
　　Lonely Planet covers the country diligently and entertainingly, leaving nothing out. With maps of all 16 states, over 35 city maps, and a fold-out transportation map to Berlin, the daunting becomes comfortable. There are the background chapters on history, government, climate and ecology, the people, the arts, society and language, and a big fat chapter covering all the necessary details of visas, money, Web sites, electricity, festivals, health, and accommodations for special needs, plus how to get there and how to get around once you've arrived. Then for every city and burg, Lonely Planet provides the stuff a traveler needs to know, all about where to stay, eat, sight see, shop, and play. And scattered in and among the guiding text are little nuggets of interest, telling the stories of witches and warlocks, Bertolt Brecht, Marlene Dietrich, and the sad tale of Queen Caroline. Not prohibitively large, Lonely Planet's guidebook packs enough into its pages for 100 good trips.

　　Like to take roads less travelled to German places big on appeal but small on crowds? Or perhaps you’d prefer a classic route visiting major hot spots? The following itinerary samples from our 2004 Germany guide can show you the way:
　　Roads Less Travelled: Mid-German Meanderings (two weeks)
Bustling Düsseldorf is a magnet for fans of art, shopping and a good time. This is especially true in the Altstadt (Old Town), fittingly nicknamed the ‘world’s longest bar’. Those with a penchant for the offbeat will be spoiled by their choices in the adjacent Ruhrgebiet. Here you’ll find such quirky delights as Gasometers housing cutting-edge art, an ex-colliery turned artists’ colony, and blast furnaces doubling as concert venues; all intriguing stops on its Industrial Heritage Trail. Continue east to Kassel, which merits a stop to explore the Wilhelmsh?he, a rambling nature park with waterfalls, castles and the towering Herkules monument.
　　From here it’s not far to the remote and densely forested Kyffh?user region, with its spooky monument to Emperor Wilhelm I and bizarre GDR-period Panorama Museum. For a little rest and relaxation spend a couple of days taking in the natural splendours and fresh air of the Harz Mountains. Don’t leave without stopping in delightful Quedlinburg, a well-preserved symphony in half-timbered houses. Eisleben, the birthplace of Protestant reformer Martin Luther, is only a short drive south, or make a beeline straight for Dessau, synonymous with the Bauhaus, the 20th century’s most influential school of architecture.
　　Classic Routes: Essential Germany (two weeks)
　　Kick off in Berlin, Germany’s dynamic capital. You’ll need three or four days to admire its great art and architecture, grasp its complex history and frolic in its nice-to-naughty nightlife. From here it’s south to Dresden, a city literally risen from the ashes of WWII, sitting pretty in its baroque splendour right on the Elbe Rive
